A doggy bag is actually something we get at a restaurant. Sometimes when you eat out there is a lot of food and you can't finish everything because you are full – well you might want to take that leftover food home.So you would ask for a doggy bag.

Why is it called a doggy bag ?

Well, it's because sometimes people take leftover food home to give to their dog , but most of the time the food is for people to eat not dogs. But we always call it a doggy bag.

now ,there is an example.

Waiter: Is everything OK?

Diner: Yes thanks. Can you put this in a doggy bag for us?

Waiter: Yes, of course.
